I have been warmed to the core lately by the generosity of people around me.
From Bill who brings in his gorgeous homegrown dahlias to share with the office, to Carolyn and Duke whose home I am selling who shared with me their freshly picked from the garden beets, to a neighbor of mine, Jim, who brought over a couple of bags of crab he had just caught and cooked ... to the young lady in the checkout line at Haggen who paid for the groceries of the man in line behind her who forgot his wallet and then declined giving him her name and number so he could repay her. The fellow, Lowell Jackson, wrote a letter to the editor of The Northern Light about his experience. He went on to say the lady told him,
"Do this for someone else if you find the opportunity."
There are ample opportunities to be generous with our time, our smile, our resources, our friendship, our thoughts and our actions. Choose to be generous and just see if it doesn't make YOU feel better, too!
(Thank you, Lowell Jackson, for sharing your experience. It brightened MY day!)
